Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 83

[Chapter 82]

On the same day, Qiao Ping took action.

He first agreed with his own staff that some of the generals of the Qiao family would first meet privately. Yanzhou soldiers and horses, really listen to Qiao Ping’s dispatches. Nothing should be allowed.

Qiao Ping then went to qiao Yue alone and proposed to prevent problems before they happened and strengthen the Yanzhou soldiers and horses.

Qiao Yue was not much interested in this at first. Qiao Ping talked with him for a long time and analyzed the current situation with him.

Qiao Yue came from a family of warlords, and when he was young, he personally led soldiers to fight, not completely confused and ignorant of the world, but cowardly in character, and he got by and got by. When he was swayed by Qiao Ping’s persuasion, more than a dozen generals poured in from outside the hall, kneeling in unison, crying tears, and speaking in unison. Under the group’s feelings, Qiao Yue had to nod his head and entrusted the matter to Qiao Ping. Qiao Ping then summoned the Qiao family generals to discuss the matter, and the candles in the lobby were bright and unsettled late at night.

Adijoci also went to the meeting. At this moment, I have not come back to rest.

Little Joe was lying on the bed, but his heart was also fluctuating, and he could not calm down for a long time.

She thought about the things in her past life in her memory, about Biyan and Big Joe in this life, and thought about her father finally starting to act.

Since Madame Xu’s fate can be changed, as long as the Qiao family takes action, at least, it should not be the result of sitting still in the future.

She felt more and more that it was very necessary for her to come back from this trip.

Her father finally approved of her persuasion and set about acting.

Little Joe’s brain was excited, thinking about this and thinking about that. Thought about a whole bunch of things. Until late at night, I gradually felt tired. Before she was about to fall asleep, a man’s face suddenly jumped out of her mind.

It seems to be Wei Shao’s face… It seems like he should be back soon…

Xiao Qiao also remembered that on the morning when he was sent out on the expedition a few months ago, he had promised Madame Xu that he would send him out on the expedition and welcome him back…

Now that she was in Yanzhou, no matter how she rushed, she couldn’t go back.

Breaking my word so quickly…

Little Joe suddenly felt ashamed. To Mrs. Xu.

Next time, the next time, she will do it. For Mrs. Xu…

It was really sleepy, and as soon as Little Joe’s eyes were closed, the person fell asleep.

……

In his last letter to Lady Xu, Wei Shao said that he would return to Yuyang at the end of this month.

He actually arrived a dozen days early.

The triumphant army was still behind him, embarking on the return journey at a speed of one hundred miles a day. The soldiers are divided into two ways.

All the way to Jinyang for this year’s winter. By the spring of the next year, Wei Shao himself would go to Jinyang to join the army.

On the other hand, he returned to Youzhou with him.

However, when the army reached Gaoyang, Wei Shao handed over the daily march to the general, broke away from the brigade himself, took a small group of light horses, and returned to Yuyang first.

He arrived early.

The day he arrived in Yuyang, it had just snowed in the morning, and it was already midnight. The snow on the ground was piling up, deep enough to pass the horse’s hooves.

The guards at the south gate heard the knocking of the door, and someone under the city gate shouted “Junhou Gui”.

The guards thought they had heard wrong.

Just during the day, the captain of the city gate also said that the triumphant army would arrive before the end of the month at the earliest, so that they would always be alert, and before the return of the prince, the city defense must not make any mistakes.

And now, in the middle of the night, on this snowy day, someone was calling for the return of the prince outside the city gate.

The guards rushed to the head of the city to look down. By the light of the blazing torch, I saw that on the snow outside the city gate, there were more than a dozen war horses parked. They are all tall warhorses that can travel hundreds of miles a day. But at this moment, these warhorses seemed to be exhausted from running, constantly wagging their tails, and the heavy snorts came and went.

In the snow, the guards looked at the man on the horse sitting at the front.

He was clad in battle armor, and a thin layer of snow had accumulated on the top of his head and on the shoulders of his robe.

He raised his head slightly, and the guards saw that above his two sword eyebrows, there was also a faint layer of frost and snow. Under the eyebrows, there is a handsome and young face.

“The prince has returned!”

The guards shouted in surprise and rushed down the city.

A moment later, the two gates slowly opened to the left and right with a heavy creak.

Wei Shao, covered with frost and snow cold, rushed into the city gate and headed for the Wei Mansion in the north of the city.

The doorman was awakened from his sleep by the sound of the door slamming, opened the door, so surprised that he saluted, stunned to see the prince who had not returned for several months on the expedition striding in snow, and the figure quickly disappeared at the end of the Yongdao.

Wei Shao returned home, and did not alarm many people. I didn’t want to wake up my grandmother or alarm my mother at this point.

He went straight to the Westinghouse. The door of the courtyard was slapped open.

The janitor who had just emerged from the hot quilt rubbed her eyes with trembling, and saw that it was the male prince who had returned. Opening his mouth, before he could say that the female monarch was not there at this time, the male jun had already striden in and far away, leaving a string of footprints on the ground behind him.

Wei Shao went straight into the inner courtyard.

The courtyard was dim. The trees, the passages, the steps, the roofs, are all covered in a layer of white.

It was quiet all around. In the night sky, the snow is still falling silently. Several pieces fell to his brow and face, quickly melted away by his hot body temperature at the moment.

Cold. Wei Shao didn’t feel cold. Instead, he felt hot at the moment.

Xu is too thick with the armor on his body. He felt his back, and a hot sweat came out.

His steps were fast. I didn’t notice that the luminous lantern hanging every few steps on the top of the corridor was pitch black at the moment.

He took a few steps and made a step up the steps, and finally stopped in front of the door. Raising his arm, he pushed the door tentatively.

She didn’t have a latch.

The door opens.

The room was blinded by a black light. There was no warmth with a little fragrant smell that Wei Shao had imagined.

Wei Shao hesitated slightly, but continued to walk inside. Finally he stopped in front of the bed. The figure froze.

The snow outside the window was dim, but it was enough for him to see clearly what he was in front of him.

The curtains were folded on either side, and there were neatly folded quilt pillows on the bed, but there was no one else.

Empty.

Wei Shao’s eyes widened a little, and he leaned down again, reached out his hand, and touched the empty and cold bed, before he suddenly straightened up, turned around and strode out, and his footsteps were heavy with a loud soundWhen I got to the door, I pulled the door open, and the wind came rushing in with snow.

“What about people! Where did they go?

He yelled at the empty courtyard.

Soon, the lights in the West Room became clear.

Wei Shao bowed his head and took off his battle armor himself. Lin Mi said carefully, “Male Jun, female Jun left more than a month ago.” He said he was going back to East County to visit her aunt’s illness. At that time, the old lady personally agreed.

“Who escorted her?”

Lin Mi answered.

“Can you say when you will return?”

“I don’t know.”

“What about Chunniang?”

Wei Shao looked around at the servants and maids who had just been startled by his own roar, and were lined up in front of him.

“Chunniang also returned with the female monarch.” Lin Mi said.

Wei Shao’s brow frowned. As if out of his mind for a moment, he flicked his hand and said lightly: “Prepare mu soup.”

Lin Mi was busy responding. With his eyes, he signaled the crowd to leave the room and prepare to serve the male bath. He finally withdrew.

She had already seen that the man who had suddenly returned home from the expedition in the middle of the night was in a bad mood. The guess is that it should be related to the female Junnangui. Therefore, some time ago, there was an incident in the North House and the East House, and even if she borrowed ten guts at this time, she did not dare to mention it in front of the male prince.

……

Wei Shao came out of the bath room, not even wearing a middle coat, bare-chested, and fell heavily on the bed on his back.

The sturdy fragrant wood bed was pressed down by the force of his fall and made a slight “creak” sound.

Wei Shao closed his eyes, feeling a deep sense of loss and another wave of distraughtness.

He could clearly remember that the night before his departure, as soon as she heard the news that she was leaving, a small face changed color on the spot, almost as if she was about to cry, and pounced on him and knocked him down, and shook his shoulder at him, refusing to let him go.

He got up the next morning, and his legs were a little soft. I almost wanted to change the commander on the front, let them go on an expedition to fight, and stay and watch Youzhou by themselves.

Later, it was Gongsun Yang’s coughing expression as if he was about to vomit blood, which made him close his mouth dangerously.

The military division recently had an old problem, coughed so painfully, and insisted on accompanying the army.

He, a prince with sound limbs, could not resist a few cries of a woman shaking her shoulders, and if he was known by his parts, where would his face be in the future?

So the next night he came back and rejected her decisively, and did not look into her mournful eyes. Only later, when he saw her lying on the bed sullen and unhappy, he was soft for a moment, leaning over to comfort and comfort her, but she fell well, turned around and pulled up the quilt to cover his head, giving him a back of his head.

It was also the back of his head that made Wei Shao make up his mind. After a struggle of ideas, he decided to go with the flow and stop coaxing her.

Can’t be led by this woman’s nose anymore. If this continues, in case one day a big mistake is made.

The Ghost King’s Beacon Fire Plays the Princes, only to win the beauty laugh. Such a ridiculous drama almost happened to him.

It’s unbelievable to think about!

So for the next three or two days, the two of them went on lukewarmly.

He didn’t touch her. I really didn’t even touch a finger.

Then it was he who went on the expedition.

The pile of dead men rolled in for a few more months.

Now back.

The woman who had begged him to stay and made him almost make a mistake was gone? Back to Joe’s house in East County?

For a moment, a bad thought popped up in Wei Shao’s mind, and he was eager to destroy the damnEd Qiao family at once.

Let her come back again!
